Consistent Start with Opportunities for Steadier Pace Norton Witter, 31, from Gypsum, CO, completed the 2025 Boulderthon 10K in 57:30, averaging a pace of 9:16 min/mile. The race commenced strongly with initial mile splits of 8:12 and 8:13, indicating steady pacing up front. However, as the race progressed, there was a noticeable deceleration with splits of 9:29, 9:52, 9:57, and 10:14. This affected overall placement slightly; Norton was positioned 217th overall initially, shifting to 470th by the end. In his age division (M30-34), Norton placed 68th within a competitive field. Maintaining a more consistent pace towards the latter part of the race may optimize future performance. His initial speed demonstrates potential for faster final times if split pacing can be balanced through the entire race. With this data, focusing on endurance and pacing strategy could lead to even better outcomes in subsequent races. Keep up the dedication, Norton!
